Apply for a Student Scholarship to SOC 2025

There are opportunities for students to have their registration fees waived for State of the Coast 2025. It is the planning team’s desire that student scholarships reduce or eliminate any financial barriers that would otherwise prevent the next generation of coastal leaders from attending SOC. 

High school, undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to apply. (If you’re not a student but are interested in a scholarship, please visit the community scholarships page.) Extra consideration is given to applicants who have submitted a program proposal and have been invited to present at SOC. However, presenting at SOC is not a prerequisite for applying for a scholarship. 

Click the button below to apply for a student scholarship. You may fill out the application for yourself or on behalf of someone you wish to nominate. Scholarships for one-day registration and three-day registration are available. 

Applications are due January 17. Decisions will be announced in February.
